Lyrics:

Come saddle tae me, my auld gray mare
Come saddle tae me, my pony O
I'm on the road and I'm goin' far awa'
Awa' wi' the rovin' plowboy-O

Chorus (after each verse):
Plowboy-O, plowboy-O
I'll follow the rovin' plowboy-O

Last night I lay in a fine feather bed
Sheets and blankets sae cozy O
The night I maun lie in a cauld barn shed
Rowed in the arms o' my plowboy-O

Champion plowboy, my Geordie lad
Cups and medals and prizes O
In bonnie Deveronside there's nane can compare
Wi' my jolly rovin' plowboy-O

Fare ye weel tae auld Huntly toon
And fareweel tae Drumdelgie O
I'm on the road and I'm goin' far awa'
Awa' wi' the rovin' plowboy-O

(Chorus...)
